Clovers
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up like a quarter to twelve
Hoping that today I'll be someone else
So dumb how I talk to myself
This is hell on earth but I can turn it into heaven

Makes me mad
All of the lost time
Only left here to realize
What makes me mad
Can't open up my eyes

Just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in field of clovers
I'm running forward back to life

Went a little crazy yesterday
Everybody saw, but it's okay
Swimming in a river of my feels
Looking in the mirror, like what's the deal
Now, now, no matter what the doctor's offered me
Gonna shake that dark cloud off of me
Finally know how fast I gotta run
Now I'mma move for my kingdom come
Always on the move for a rainy day
Needed to change

Just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in field of clovers
I'm running forward back to life

Sitting, pretty, steady, picking clovers
Finally I feel I'm getting closure
Sitting, pretty, steady, picking clovers
Finally I feel I'm getting closure

Just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in field of clovers
I'm running forward back to life

Sitting, pretty, steady, picking clovers
Finally I feel I'm getting closure




Sitting, pretty, steady, picking clovers
Finally I feel I'm getting closure

Overall Meaning

In JoJo's song "Clovers," the singer reflects on the inner turmoil she feels and hopes that she can transform her life for the better. The first verse highlights her desire to escape her current self and become someone else. She finds it frustrating that she has wasted so much time and can't seem to see things clearly. However, she also recognizes that she has the power to turn her hellish situation into heaven. The second verse talks about a recent episode where she lost control and acted irrationally. Despite feeling embarrassed about her behavior, she knows that she needs to change and take charge of her life. She is determined to shake off the dark clouds that have been hanging over her and move towards a brighter future.


The chorus talks about finding solace in a field of clovers. Here, she feels like she is running back to life, no matter how lost or hopeless things seem. The repeated line, "Just when I think it's over, Just when I think I've lost my mind" reinforces the idea of inner struggle and the feeling that one is on the brink of losing control. The bridge, where she sings "Sitting pretty, steady, picking clovers, Finally, I feel I'm getting closure" shows that the singer has found some peace and closure in her life. The act of picking clovers represents a moment of calm and clarity, where she can finally breathe easy.
